GSM

[Clare]

I've made a GSM object in one of my drawings but when I bring the GSM object into anther drawing it says invalid 3D symbol. Why would this be?

Did you add it to the library of your second drawing? If it was saved to the Embedded library of the first, you will need to export it to an external location, to then be able to import it into your second file.

Any clues as to what the object is?

What is it modelling in 3D?

Does it CALL any other objects?

Is it just a parameter value not set correctly, like a zero length or width?

Hi Barry,

 The object is a wall light that I have made. It does inculde 2 other objects. All objects where loaded into the new file.

I've tried this, thank you Ling

Can you share the object(s) here?

You will need to add them to a ZIP file before you can attach them.

Hi Barry, Thank you for your help. Sorry for slow repose time, haven't been  in the office last two days. I appreciate your help. Attached is the object plus the two objects that make it up.

It seems there is another macro missing - "Tube - editable".

I am not sure if that is the problem though.

It also CALLs an object called "600 white circle" which I don't seem to have in the 25 library.

When I try to open that object, it opens a bed and I have no idea why.

Are you able to open that object?

Maybe if you can attach those objects as well I may be able to dig a little further.

When I script out those objects I see this, so the rest of it seems to be working.

Hi Barry,

I'm not sure way the circle is coming up as a bed. 

I've attached the circle and tube GSM files.

Thank you again for you help.

Now I have the main object and the 4 macros, I am getting no error messages at all (except for missing building material because my template is not the same as yours).

So I am none the wiser why you have an invalid 3D.

Maybe you didn't have all 4 macros loaded in your library?

If it was working in one file but not when you copied it to another file, then I would suspect it is a missing macro.
